Jumping in wholeheartedly
 
Hello everyone. I'm cuckoo.
I have been reading SR for what seems like forever! I have posted a few times but today I feel able to jump in with both feet and become an active member.
I am only on nine days but doing ok.
Someone posted earlier (and I have read many others) that the craving for sugar and generally unhealthy foods were strong.
My experience is the opposite. I am fixed on eating healthy stuff. Its like my body is craving some good, decent energy. Has anyone else had this happen ?
Also, its amazing how quickly we start to feel a bit human again. These bodies of ours are truly special, why then do we poison them on a daily basis. Its crazy when you think about it.
Anyway, have a good day, whatever you are doing.

My sugar cravings actually didn't kick in until a few months in. Everybody is different. And although not proven, it's just my opinion that men and women physiologically seem to detox differently. Seems like many of us gals get the shaft as far as sugar and cravings go. LOL.
Anyway. Good luck and keep it up! It gets better and better.

Thank you everyone. Today is my mums birthday, we are going for a family carvery this evening. I plan on just water with my lovely roast, determined to stay strong for this one.
I will let you know how I get on and how great I will feel about myself because I abstained. 😀
